WHAT IS ECOTHERAPY?
Ecotherapy is based on the belief that connection to nature has a profound effect on a person’s wellbeing. An Ecotherapist will help you to engage with your natural surroundings and uses different therapies that benefit the inner self.
​
​
Whoever you are and whatever you’re going through, being in nature and clearing your head improves mood and reduces stress. At the same time, you will also receive the benefits of talk-based therapy in an outdoor setting.
​
Spending time in nature while talking to a counsellor can be incredibly healing.​ A walk through a garden, for example, can reduce anxiety, lift your spirits and improve your mood. I offer two nature-based therapies using the Ecotherapy treatment method.
HOW DOES IT HELP?
THE CONNECTION BETWEEN NATURE AND WELLBEING
ECOTHERAPY SERVICES
THERAPY IN THE PARK
Therapy in the Park may appeal if you are apprehensive about seeing a Counsellor, or feel uncomfortable in an office setting, The session will take place in a park where you're able to practice mindfulness and connect with nature. We can decide on a private and comfortable space and have our session there.
WALK & TALK THERAPY
We talk while walking through the park. Walk & Talk Therapy offers all the benefits of exercise, as well as those of Ecotherapy. This is particularly suitable for people who may feel a counselling room doesn’t suit them.

Before we begin your Ecotherapy session, we’ll have an initial meeting indoors to work out which therapy style will suit you.
